Re: Jodha Akbar - Ashutosh Gowariker's Magnum opus

Tnow one thing i must say that this film has raised several controversies regarding historians .. i have heard reports that the film has fully changed the history.....well this is not good..misleading the people about the history is certainly not a good thing.....we must respect the history.....
Historians r just crappers :-x:-x:-x:-x:-x:-x
Every period film will be called historically incorrect. They speak as if they existed @ that time.

A movie is the view point of the director/writer & person from whom the data is collected. Everyone has a viewpoint (reminded me of VANTAGE POINT :D). The only person who knows the truth is the one who existed then, not these "historians". The historian wants to sell his-story.... regardless of the truths or mistruths lying within.

I believe in going to the movie & having a great blast... which I am gonna do TODAY. c u after the movie :twisted:

I totally disagree with your viewpoint, but I don't want to argue. :)

These ****ing historians fill the textbooks with errors but when there is a small error, there is a lot of hue and cry over it. Movies is way of entertainment, even historical drama do have some fantasy elements. Do they loathe when SRK chased a Scorpio in a rickshaw?

The cake is a lie!!!
A grp frm Rajasthan "Karni Sena" i guess is demanding that the director visit the state and apolozize for hurting the sentiments of the people and arrange a spl screening for the local politicos etc so that after which it can be decided whether to allow the movie to be released in Rajasthan or not.:rolleyes:
I hate all those self proclaimed defenders of faith/religion/morality.:mad: :mad:

If I was AG, I would have shown the middle finger. These people should shut the **** up and stop the ****. IMO, if the movie pases the censor board, there should not be any problem. Who are they to take law in their hands.

Glad that all these nonsense doesn't happen in TN/Chennai.


The movie is damn good. One of my all time fav. bollywood movies in recent times. Most of the reviews are giving 4+/5 or 7.5+/10.

^^ Thanks for the pm. Nice review btw. Makes me go and watch the movie ASAP. However you could add a comment on the performances of the actors, especially Hritik and Ash. I'm especially interested in knowing how Hritik performed in this flick as i'm a huge fan of his.

Do we need to know about Hritik's actiong? He's very good. IMO, only AAmir is better than he is. Aamir, Hritik and Saif are my my fav. actors who can act. Ash's performance is only next to Guru.

But then, it is AG's movie. Enough said. He makes the people act.

^^ Right. After seeing his performance in Koi Mil Gaya, I believe Hritik can do any role. JA would've been a walk in a park for him. He's a real bollywood star. He makes SRK and Big B look overrated (which they are).

Hrithik is gr8 too .....music is awesome by AR Rehman and the heavy use of Urdu is awesome (i too can read n write Urdu)

now heres why Rajputs are protesting against the film .......
source : wiki

There is popular perception that Rajput wife of Akbar, mother of Jahangir, was known as "Jodha Bai".[2] However, Akbar's Rajput wife was never known as "Jodha Bai" during her lifetime.

According to N R Farooqi, Jodha Bai was not the name of Akbar's Rajput queen; it was the name of Jahangir's Rajput wife, whose real name was Jagat Gosain. Jagat Gosain was referred to as "Jodha Bai" or "Jodhi Bibi", since she belonged to the royal family of Jodhpur.[2] Jodhi Bibi was the daughter of Udai Singh of Jodhpur, and a wife of Jahangir. She was the mother of Prince Khurram (later Shah Jahan).

In film it is shown she wasnt converted to Islam
wiki wrotes ....Hira Kunwari (her maiden name) married Akbar on January 20, 1562 at Sambhar near Jaipur..she was converted to Islam and was given the name Mariam-uz-Zamani .
Hira Kunwari died in 1611. As per her last wishes, a vav or step well was constructed by Jahangir. Her tomb, built in 1611, is on the Delhi-Agra National Highway, near Fatehpur Sikri. She was buried according to Islamic custom and was not cremated according to Hindu religion.

DONT KNOW WAT THE HELL TRUTH IS ....but very interesting..history is always fascinating :)

An interesting Comment which appeared in The Hindu (letters to editor):

If Historical facts are followed accurately, a historical film will never be a work of art - it will remain a documentary.

The Film makes of JA should openly say they have blended history with invention. By doing so, they can defuse the crisis in Rajastan.



Even in Chennai, it's running to packed houses. Good to see common sense prevailing. :D 5 Shows in Satyam Cinemas.


Ironically most of us didn't complain the 202 mins spend in the theater.

but in india its quite sad that poorly made movies like OSO and main hoon naa... make the most money. if a movie stars SRK... self proclaimed "king". then the media goes all out to ensure that the movie becomes a hit. sad...
